Ninja Woodfire Mincemeat Swirls

Ninja Woodfire Mincemeat Swirls are a festive twist on classic mincemeat pastries, created especially for outdoor cooking enthusiasts. Prepared in the versatile Ninja Woodfire grill, these sweet swirls combine buttery enriched dough with rich, spiced mincemeat for a smoky, bakery-style treat. Perfect for Christmas gatherings, winter barbecues, or cosy evenings, they deliver a unique balance of caramelised edges and soft, fluffy centres.

Using the Ninja Woodfire’s controlled heat and subtle wood-smoked flavour, these mincemeat swirls bake evenly and develop a golden, slightly crisp exterior. The result is a dessert or snack that pairs beautifully with hot drinks, custard, or brandy cream. Ideal for sharing, they can be served warm straight from the grill, making them a standout addition to any seasonal menu or outdoor entertaining spread.
